How hard is to go to ABC short trek?

ABC short trek is a moderate trek due to many up and down hills though there are hundreds of beautiful breathtaking scenery. If you have good practice to walk up and down hills it is not so hard. The trekking trail pass along narrow slippery gorges road. There are many places on the way to trail which are really danger of landslides and avalanches. Many time I got encounter with landslides and avalanches. You can make it easy if you follow some rules and regulations before starting your treks towards Annapurna base camp. After Bamboo it is better to walk in the morning. Because the snow piles got freeze whole night and in sunny day they start to melt or break and come down as a big avalanche. To protect from high-altitude sickness if tourists walk slowly and steadily with many breaks on the way to trek they can acclimatize easily and the trek will be easy. On the way to trek each 1 to 2 hours there are available of tea houses and tourists could have enough liquids and rest. If possible try to practice walking through up and down steeps, Jogging and swimming are equally helpful. Any exercise that is convenient to you and helps you to be fit is recommended.
